Discussing movies at work...

...and we started naming off some old sci-fi favorites. Some I'd even forgotten about. Here are a few to get your mind thinking about back in the day. By chance, all these movies seem to be from 1985, or there abouts. The only reason I did not add 2001: A Space Odessey and Dr. Strangelove were because they happened to be from the 1960's; obviously way before their time, those two movies are simply genius. Reminisce with me, dear friends, and enjoy.

(After looking over these titles, and the vast amount of others I did not put, it strikes me that I have spent countless hours watching movies. Thats a lot of time. Thankfully my mom is a big fan of the American Movie Classics (AMC) channel, so I learned to appreciate the old classics, and also a few of these 'modern' movies listed below. A good story just takes you to another place, and you come back feeling like a changed person.)

I know I missed some great ones, but these make me want to head to the movies right now! ;)
